Warm and Accommodating”

The staff (I didn't get her name unfortunately) was very accommodating. Upon our arrival, she immediately gave us a summary of what we can do around Sun Moon Lake. She was very helpful and we are very thankful for that. She also helped us reserve seats for our trip to Alishan mountain. She went above and beyond her duties and we commend her for that. As to the location, it is quite accessible from Shuishe bus station. It is also along the bike trail and within striking distance of the lake shore, fit for a morning walk. The room was clean and well-kept. It is good for both backpackers and travelers who want to spend more time around the area.

Comfortable, with cats! ”

Super happy with this find- they upgraded me to a bigger room with bed, and the front desk lady also helped me book my alisan bus without a fuss. The shower has very nice hot water and the bed itself is comfortable. The sound proofing is a bit poor but people settled down early so no huge fuss to me. There are four cats and one cat particularly was very loving and this made my stay complete. Location wise perfect, just behind them is part of a trail along the lake or you could walk on the main road to the main pier. Thank you! Will definitely come again.

Pros: Located about 2-300m from the Shui She Visitors’ Centre in a quiet place near the lake, free parking for guests with designated parking lots, water dispenser machine conveniently located along the corridor so we could top up all of our bottles for the road trip, shower and room were quite spacious and are well maintained; breakfast was hearty (it is a standard American style breakfast); front desk staff is friendly! Cons: No big cons, boardwalk to the room is not very even as it is made of wooden planks, would not advise you to carry very bulky/heavy luggage. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend this place to others!

I was lucky that I was the only guest in the 8-bed dorm room so it was really quiet. Even though I read reviews from other guests that it had poor sound proof and vehicle sound can be noisy, I didn't notice it actually. However, they didn't open their cafe earlier, maybe because there were no other guests.

Quality of a good hotel with the friendly, chill hostel vibe”

I stayed for 1 night at Yue Lake Backpackers with my mother. We both really liked how spacious and clean the room was, and how nice the bed, sheets, furniture were. Common area was nice too. It was a nice place to relax after a jam-packed day of touring and travel by plane and bus. The only small flaw is the location. It's not really far-- an easy 10 minute stroll from the Shuishe Visitors' Center (where the Sun Moon Lake buses from Taipei drop people off) but the road didn't have lights so walking at night was a concern- as it is for most female travelers. The staff was nice, very friendly and very helpful. We were able to visit a lot of places in the limited time we were there thanks to their advice. Overall, we had a very nice stay at Yue Lake Backpackers.

amazing stay ”

I cannot fault this hostel.... the owner spoke little English but enough to converse. Mr Ho (I think this was his name) went out of his way to ensure my stay at sml was both pleasant and special.... he woke up at 5am to drive me around town to watch the sunrise..... something sml is notorious for. Facilities were clean with lots of space. there is a locker provided but it's a tad small for your backpack. windows are avaialbe in the rooms so enough natural lighting for those that don't like prison type rooms. located approx 10 mins walk from the bus stop. don't be fooled by googl map as the location is incorrect. upon arrival, walk across the street towards the police station. head straight (ensure the bus stop is on the left side of the road from you) past the onsen for approx 10 mins until you see the sign for yue lake backpackers.

Longest stay ever on Taiwan backpacking trip”

Has all the basic for backpackers

I am on a month long trip to Taiwan, and my itinerary is not fixed like a typical long-term backpacker. I was told I stayed the longest there - 5N & 4D(+). I rested a day, and researched/planned my next stage a whole day. 2 days was sightseeing. It has all the basic for a backpacker. There is no washing machine but I could do handwashing and a open rooftop helped to air-dry and sunbath all my laundry dry (yes!). My room has a window and I'm just sleeping beside it - it's great to see natural light when morning comes and to brighten the room. Throughout my stay, i came across a mixed group (French, Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, etc). A hostel is great only when there is a mixed group and mingling. It has been 1 of the best stay for my Taiwan trip, if not the best, esp it is not costly there. All the best to the boss, his son and his family. I'd be back if I ever come to Sun Moon Lake again.
